WINDOW-FASTENING DEVICE.

Application filed March 23, 1927. Serial No. 177,588.

This invention relates generally to windows, and has more particularreference to.

The invention has for an object the provi- I sion of improved means forsecuring window panes into frames, which is eflicient in action, andwhich can be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost. For furthercomprehension of the inventi'on, and of the objects and advantagesthereof, reference will be had to' the following description andaccompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the variousnovel features of the'invention are more particularly set forth.

I Referring to the drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary rear view of a window constructed with theinvention device. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary enlarged view of a portion ofFig. 1. I

Fig.3 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line .3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig.4 is a viewsimilar to Fig.3 but of a modified form of the invention.

Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 6 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view taken on the line 66 ofFig. 2.

The reference numeral 10 indicates a window frame, and 11 a window paneassociated therewith. Strips of resilient material 12, preferably madeof rubber and being of triangular cross-section engage in the cornersformed by: the pane 11 and, frame 10. Other strips of' material 13,preferably of metal, cover the strips 12. The strips 12 are formed withrecesses 14 at certain portions along their lengths, and strips 13areformed with apertures 15 aligned with the recesses.

Projecting from the strips 13 are tongues 16 housed in the recesses 14,and rollers 17 are su ported in the recesses 14 between a P 0? t g e hof t e r ll The customary old 17 are formed with an aperture 18, andna1ls 19 pass through these apertures at any desirable tilt, obtainingby turning the rollers, and thereafter the nails are driven through thestrips 12 into the frame 10. .5" Thus the window pane is securelyheld inplace in the frame, and the rubber strips 12 act to form a waterproofjoint, desirable inasmuch as rain cannot"pass.---Q,

The nails 19 engage the'rollers 17 inplace, and the rollers beingattached to strips 13, hold the strips, which in turn hold the otherstrips 12. The rollers' 17 are turnably mounted, and the nails 19 passedthrough the apertures 18 of the rollers may be quick- 1y driven into theframe 10 at any tilt.

In the modification ofthe invention illustrated in Fig. 4 the strip 13'is narrower than the strip 12', and furthermore, is embedded tlierein. 7

While I have illustrated and described my invention with some degree ofparticularity,

I realize that in practice various alterations therein may be made. Itheref re reserve the right and privilege of changin the form of thedetails of construction or otherwise .altering thearrangement of thecorrelated paits without departin from the spirit or the scope of theappen ed claims.

Having thus described my invention, what 8.0

I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patentis: 1. In combination with a window frame and associated window pane,astri of mate-:

rial adapted for engagement in t e. corners formed by the frame andpane, another strip) of material on the said strip, the first mentioned"strip being recessed at certain portions along its length, the secondmentioned fstrip being formed with apertures aligned with W therecesses, tongues projecting from the second mentioned stri into therecesses, a. roller supported in eac recess between a air of thetongues, each roller being1 forme with C an aperture, and nails guidethrough the last mentioned apertures, and forced into the firstmentioned strip and the window frame.

2 A device for securing a pane in place in a window frame, comprising aresilient strip of m terial adapted f r eng gem nt the corners formed bthe frame and pane, recesses, and aroller supported in each reanothe'rstrip of rein orcing material on the cess between the tongues,' the saidrollers W said strip, the first mentioned strip being being formed withapertures. l0

recessed at certain portions, the second men-' In testimony whereof Ihave aflixed my 5 tioned strip being formed with apertures signature. T

aligned with the recesses, tongues projecting from thesecond mentionedstrip into the STANLEY RADLOWSKI.
